1440p AND 165Hz gaming monitor! - MSI Optix G27CQ4 unboxing 

I love watching footage of 165 hZ monitors on my 60hZ display :/

You literally made my decision for me been looking at lots of monitors lately and this is by far the best budget one

thanks for your great reviews on this beautiful monitor, keep doing great :)

very helpfull, needed to know what i was getting

thanks james

Great review man! I loved the fact that you cover the the basic stand installation. Many monitor reviews overlook that very simple but also very delicate step. Just got a MSI Optix G273QF, not the same screen but stand's gotta be built anyhow and a high end PC to go with and its been 7 years since i last put up a monitor stand so its very re-assuring to watch this and refresh my memory, i mean if you dont build stands often, you tend to forget details.

Thank u, Is it the best budget gaming monitor for Ps5? if not what u suggest?

I’ve got the MSI G2712 27’ and doom eternal was probably the best looking game that I’ve played on it using my Series X

msi optix g27CQ4 VS MSI Optix G272CQP, they are the same price in my area. Which one should i buy?

What type of LED Backlight system is used on that moniter ? Is it a Edge lit, Direct or Full Array ? because they've just mentioned 'LED' in specifications.

I wana ask the ppl who owns this monitor, Are the colors saturated and good for story games?

Just got mine. It came without screws. Now i try to find out which ones i need to use...

hi, can you help me what will be the settings for warzone caldera for MSI OPTIX G27CQ4 as find very reddish/orange environment and cant find the right mixtures of the settings. im using RTX 3060 btw, thanks!

Hi, I wanted to know if I get a 4k display cable, it will support 165

I just got this monitor 2 days ago and I'm gonna to send it back to the shop. Monitor itself is very good, beautiful colors, good response time and of 1440p with 165hz refresh rate. But the major thing that disqualifies that monitor for gaming (at least action type games) is big ghosting. At the beginning I thought "Meh, it's not gonna bother me, it can't be that bad". I was totally wrong. When you play e.g. FPS game in dark environment even not professional eye will notice the ghosting. (I even noticed it just playing CS:GO where maps are not that dark). Just to summary I would recommend that monitor for graphic designers, movie watchers etc. but definitelty not for gaming (as I said especially actions FPS games and unless you can get used to it. I don't have the ability to stand this phenomen.) Positives: - Refresh rate - 165Hz - Quick response time - Smooth working - Beautiful colors - Very good resolution Negatives: - Big ghosting - The height of the monitor cannot be adjusted If you are the person who owns that monitor you can share your opinion here too.

I just bought this upgrading from a full hd 75 hz screen, im so excited

hi I have a question now, did you install it with 4K display cable yourself?

the one msi monitor im thinking buying is MSI G273CQ is it worth it 170 hz and 1440 p. now i have 60 hz samsung monitor

For some reason on this website it says the monitor has 4ms but every single review says 1ms anyone know what that’s about? Please let me know.

Is it really Game HDR Ready? Could you confirm it please.

Hi, im thinking of getting this for myself but i was wondering if its still worth this time of year and do you know any other alternatives? Thanks pls reply

Buying one. Thanks

I bought this monitor and Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF Computer Desktop PC, Intel Core i5 6500 3.2GHz Processor. Can not find a port that fits the monitor.

Does the monitor have bad ghosting?

Is the displayport in the box 1.2a?

Can you please tell me if this monitor is suitable for gigabyte 1050ti 4gb video card?

Do you need a desktop to play games on it? or can you just install games on the screen? sorry i don't know much about gaming computer

How does this compare to the LG Ultragear gl850 type monitors? This one is available on very and it would be nice to spread the cost if it's not terrible. Mainly playing world of warcraft shadowlands at 1440p/144hz Any help much appreciated.

what are the screw measurements

Would this be good for ps5 to get 1440 and 120hz

Hello, question please. My buddy is getting it for his AMD 7800 GPU. Wondering if the Freesync is fully compatible with my Nvidia 3080 Ti FE? What's your opinion? Will I get maximum benefits like the AMD? Or do I need to go G-Sync. Having trouble finding monitors that are. Most are Freesync. Please advise

Picked up the 31.5" version for my sons Xmas present the other day (to go with his ps5 birthday present, 5 days before). He currently has my old cheap generic tv, a 720p 28" from argos with a base ps4. So I'm looking forward to seeing his face at the graphical and framerate improvement. He'll be 10 soon and he's starting to understand the tech jargon. And the ps5 will get updated soon to use 1440p.

I got this monitor 2 days ago, Can someone help, the left corner of my monitor is brighter which looks kinda weird, i didnt noticed something about ghosting but the brightness difference really destroys it, nearly looks white sometimes.

i have the one of 32 inch and its amazing

Is it matte??

thinking of getting this or the MAG274QRF. which is objectively better?

Can you mount the moniter on a wall with a moniter mount?

Do this monitor downsampling from 4k to 1440p for ps5?

Can you change brightness of the monitor?

Just a question I wanna get this monitor for my ps5 is it good for ps5 and is 165hz good for ps5 and the fps I have the same one as this one PLEASE ANSWER but it doesn’t have HDR should I get it is no HDR a big deal

Ghosting?

Avoid MSI monitors, you will get stuck pixels and MSI will not RMA unless they are in a group of 5 or more.

Jesus loves you alot trust in His death 4 salvation and be saved from eternal hell

This is the worst monitor you can get. DO NOT BUT. Unplayable. Ghosting is horendous. The screen is not 1ms response. It takes about 1 sec for the pixels to change which just leaves a massive smudge look to everything

Hi , I have this monitor and the display port shows no signal error message. DP only gets the signal at BIOS screen and BIOS utility and as soon as the window starts booting it loses the signal. My PC is windows 11 and my graphics card is MSI Rtx 3060 gaming X . Please help if anyone knows the solution
